Plant Based Applications

As veganism is accelerating towards the mainstream, the demand for plant-based food products (in particular dairy alternatives) has increased and is like to continue doing so in many years to come.

The trend of veganism is a primary factor for this demand and health-related concerns such as allergies from milk and lactose intolerance are playing a vital role in the growth of this market too. 

A further reason for the surge in the market for dairy alternatives is consumers’ growing concerns for animal welfare as well as their impact on the planet from an environmental point of view.

This stresses the importance of manufacturers gaining the required knowhow to manufacture nutritious and well tasting vegetable based products which resemble those of the dairy alternatives.

A very significant proportion of the R&D budget at LACTO Technology goes into plant based solutions. This includes fermented dairy alternatives as well as drinks and ice cream.
